How to be Good at Maths by Carol Vorderman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Really, really good.
From a relaxed eclectic homeschooling perspective, this looks far more valuable to me than any curriculum.
It covers key primary school numeracy contexts clearly, with brilliant diagrams and examples, and in highly visual ways that will make it really easy to translate to practical activities with manipulables and games.
A library borrow, but I want my own copy as a reference to make sure I "don't leave anything out" and that I'm aware of logical ways to teach.
